@potet said in Passion play: The number of trolls in the Linux community is really incredibly frustrating. Those trolls don't even support GNU/Linux for sure, just there to troll GNUL users because they love so much to live jailed! Damn Smith Agents ^^

Hear! Hear!

@ubportsnews Seasons greetings to ye all.

One small suggestion, which I make not out of cynicism but simply because I think overselling is a problem when people are enthusiastic about a project (as we rightfully are): maybe leave off the verbiage about a "growing list of devices" until the list actually grows? So far as I recall, only one community port has ever appeared, all the Halium ports have some way to go, and the non-Halium devices are in early days yet, so hasn't it actually been a couple of years since the list grew?

Ubuntu Touch 20.04 OTA-9 is released. Thank you everyone involved in the testing. https://ubports.com/blog/ubports-news-1/post/ubuntu-touch-ota-9-focal-release-3962

@TheVancedGamer Sorry. I somehow mamaged to downvote your post. Fat fingers on a small screen. I have upvoted to remove the downvote

@kugiigi Okay, I passed on the info.

The most important thing to me is privacy. Not to be in the hand of Google or apple or windows or anyone else. It haven't to be mainstream, but it have to respect me. It is also important to me to use my device as long as I want, secure. And not have to by a new device. (I know this is kind of not realistic because it is in the nature of the things that operating systems need more powered devices when the develloping is going on) In this context a verry huge thank you to the people of ubports and halium.

@chan1234 Redshift does not work on UT. See this thread for more context as to why not

@guru said in UBports Store Open: Finally I got a mail from sales@ saying that they have shipped my goods on October 19. Today is already October 28 and nothing arrived in 8 days... sales@ said in a mail that the parcel was sent on October 19. Today is November 3rd. I will wait until November 19 and then instruct Amex to withdraw the money due to goods not delivered. Thanks

@josele13 What kind of companies would be interested in an OS that doesn't have a locked bootloader or unencrypted phone rom? In those companies will they see that UT is easier to use than android? Do we have all the android options to be attractive? Will these companies be able to use our country's banks or government apps? Will the employees of these companies be able to make video calls? Will they be able to talk from the car to another employee via bluetooth? Will they be able to pay for food at the bar from their mobile phones? yes these are important questions, but we must've forgo what we can do to make it more attractive for example if there's a missing app, what can we do to convince the app developer or the company behind it to support Ubuntu Touch. if there's a missing functionality what can we do to fix it whether that's ourselves if we can program or by attracting a developers with the skills. so rather than "what makes it attractive to companies?" the question becomes "what can we do to make it attractive to companies?" and by extension "what can we do to move Ubuntu Touch forward?"

@advocatux Thanks. Confirms that no image builds for vegetahd since 27.02. I wonder why though. Looks like only Nexus 5, FP2 and OPO has builds since that date.

Happy Birthday Marius.
